DIPOLE ARRAY EXCITED BY SLOTS IN A COAXIAL FEEDER

Dušan Černohorský - Zdeněk Nováček

   Technical analysis of a coaxial dipole array excited by periodically distributed slots in the shield of the coaxial feeder is presented. The lossy transmission-line theory is applied for determination of the current distribution on all parts of the system and the input impedance as well as the radiation pattern are deduced. The calculated results are compared with the measured ones.

Keywords: dipole array, slot excited dipole, two-point excited radiators
